Indian bride calls off wedding after row over biryani

BANGALORE: A row over choice of ‘Biryani’ between a groom’s side and bride’s family led to a shocking end of a wedding early this week in an Indian city – Bangalore.

According to Indian media, it all started when the girl’s family prepared a chicken biryani and sent it to the groom’s side. The groom’s family was upset as they do not eat chicken. The issue was resolved soon. However, it was brought up again at the wedding on Sunday night where it got blown out of proportion.

Police said the bride refused to get hitched after witnessing the row being intensified. Seeing the groom’s family’s behaviour prior to the wedding, she wondered how she would be treated after marriage, they added.

The girl’s family filed a complaint with the KG Halli police. Both families live on Tannery Road. The boy works in Dubai. The marriage was scheduled for March 9 (Sunday).
